Growing Up On Wheels

At four years old, Jones suffered an incomplete spinal cord injury in a car crash.

“A complete spinal cord injury is when you sever your spinal cord completely,” the athlete explains. “Mine is just bruised or contused so there are still some signals going through. Just not all the way.”

She doesn’t remember much about getting injured. Mostly she remembers the “cool nurses” who helped her as a patient.

“I remember having a lot of fun in the hospital,” she laughs.

“I was really young. I don’t remember being sad.” she recalls. A life on wheels is all she has ever known.

“I don’t remember being able to walk.”

More Than Just A Game

The college student says her love of sports started early.

“I was active even if I was disabled,” Jones recalls. “My family did a really good job of making it so I did everything my siblings did.”
